GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



NOVEMBEE, 1921 



Guaranteed Seed of the Greatest 

 Honey Bearing Clover 



Enthusiasm for Hubam (the annual white sweet clover) as a honey- 

 bearing plant is constantly growing among beekeepers. It blooms in three 

 to four months and continues blooming for a longer period than other 

 honey-bearing plants. 



Hubam has a legume action that makes it one of the greatest soil- 

 builders. It bears hay and seed in great quantities. And it saves a full 

 year in the usual crop rotation. 



These advantages have made it popular in a wonderfully short time. 



We are large-scale growers of Hubam seed with acreage in Texas, 

 Ohio, and North Dakota. Because accidental mixing of this seed is easy 

 we grow nothing but Hubam, and absolutely guarantee the purity of the 

 seed shipped under our seal.
